The Met Office has issued a fresh yellow weather warning for ice, which will be in force across Hull and East Yorkshire from 6pm on Wednesday evening until 11am on Thursday.

The region has been warned to prepare for treacherous ice, as the snow melts and freezes over.

On Tuesday evening, heavy snow fell across the region, although the weather warning does not include snow.

A Met Office spokesman confirmed that icy stretches are likely on some surfaces throughout the day and said to expect ice on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths leading to longer journey times.

The spokesman added: "Another cold night with a risk of ice, either where surfaces remain wet from daytime showers, or where further wintry showers fall onto frozen surfaces during the night and on Thursday morning.

"Showers will be a mix of rain, sleet and snow, with some slight accumulations possible, mainly above 200 metres."

The weather warning extends across virtually all of the UK, with the country gripped by a cold spell.

The maximum temperature in Hull is expected to be 3C today, which will go below freezing tonight with a minimum of -4C.

A yellow weather warning can be issued for a range of weather situations, including ice and snow. Many are issued when it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places.
